Vital Signs 12 Health 1

Healthy children and families are the cornerstone of good quality of life in neighborhoods, and research has provided growing evidence of the place-based determinants of health1. Baltimore City released Healthy Baltimore 20152 in May 2011, identifying ten priority public health areas and specific goals for reducing negative health outcomes. The plan benchmarks several measures at the citywide level; however, as shown in the Department’s Neighborhood Health Profiles 20113, each indicator can vary dramatically by neighborhood. In addition to Healthy Baltimore, the City launched the Baltimore Food Policy Initiative in 2010 to focus on healthy food availability to all neighborhoods. Baltimore City has also had a long-term strategy to improve birth outcomes4 coordinated by the B’More for Healthy Babies initiative.

Vital Signs 12 coordinates many of the specific indicators identified in these plans as key to tracking health-related quality of life measures for Baltimore’s neighborhoods. In order to ensure consistent communication of health-related data to Baltimore communities, analysis of indicators in this chapter has been more closely coordinated with the Baltimore City Department Health and the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future.

Data

Children & Family Health data for Vital Signs 12 indicators come from several sources. State sources include the Maryland Department of Vital Statistics, Maryland Department of the Environment, and Maryland Department of Human Resources. City sources include Baltimore City Health Department, Baltimore City Liquor Board, and research partners at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. Indicators are created by normalizing data by the number of residents in a given area. This will reflect the concentration of an indicator within an area, and allow for comparison across neighborhoods and over time.

Vital Signs 12 includes eighteen indicators for Community Statistical Areas5 (CSAs) designed to track the health of adults, children, and infants in Baltimore City and its neighborhoods. These indicators are grouped into the following categories: birth outcomes; life expectancy and mortality; lead poisoning; built environment and food security; and social assistance programs.

Birth Outcomes6

Vital Signs 12 tracks four birth outcome indicators for Baltimore’s Community Statistical Areas (CSAs): teen birth rate; percent of births delivered at term; percent of babies born with satisfactory birth weight; and percent of births where the mother received early prenatal care. From 2011 to 2012, the trends for each of these indicators are mixed for Baltimore City as a whole.

• Baltimore City’s teen birth rate (the number of girls aged 15-19 who have given birth per 1,000 females aged 15-19) has continued to decrease over the past several years and declined further from 46.6 in 2011 to 41.5 in 2012. From 2011 to 2012, the teen birth rate declined in 36 CSAs, remained the same in three CSAs, and increased in 16 CSAs.

• In 2012, the CSAs with the highest teen birth rates were Patterson Park North & East (104.5), Fells Point (100.0), Highlandtown (94.8), Penn North/Reservoir Hill (79.4), and Clifton-Berea (77.1). Four CSAs with zero teen birth are Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill, Canton, Mt. Washington/Coldspring, and North Baltimore/ Guilford/Homeland.

• The percentage of births that were delivered at term (at least 37 weeks gestation) in Baltimore City declined slightly from 87.4% in 2011 to 86.6% in 2012. From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births at term declined in 32 CSAs, with the greatest decreases occurring in Poppleton/The Terracs/Hollins Market (-10.7%), Washington Village (-9.4), and Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill (-8.2%). From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births at term increased in 23 CSAs, with the greatest increases occurring in Modtown (8.21%), Highlandtown (6.35%), and Upton/Druid Heights (5.08%). In 2012, the CSAs with the highest percentage of births at term were Mt. Washington/Coldspring (95.3%) and Fells Point (93.7%).

6 Birth outcome data comes from the Maryland Department of Vital Statistics


• The percentage of births where the child was of satisfactory weight (at least 5.5lbs) in Baltimore City declined slightly from 88.4% in 2011 to 88.2% in 2012. From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births with a satisfactory birth weight increased in 28 CSAs, with the greatest increases occurring in Cherry Hill (13.6%), Madison/East End (7.6%, and Upton/Druid Heights (6.9%). From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births with a satisfactory birth weight declined in 27 CSAs, with the greatest decreases occurring in Howard Park/West Arlington (-13.4), Greater Rosemont (-10.2%), and Oldtown/Middle East (-9.3%).

• In 2012, the CSAs with the highest percentage of births with satisfactory birth weight were Fells Point (97.2%) and Mt. Washington/Coldspring (96.9%); the CSA with the lowest percentage of births with satisfactory birth weight was Forest Park/Walbrook (79.0%).

• The percentage of births where the mother received early prenatal care (early being care that began in the first trimester) in Baltimore City increased from 59.0% in 2011 to 62.7% in 2012. From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births where the mother received early prenatal care increased in 38 CSAs, with the greatest increases occurring in Forest Park/Walbrook (48.5%), Poppleton/The Terraces/Hollins Market (38.7%), and Orangeville/East Highlandtown (29.1%). From 2011 to 2012, the percentage of births where the mother received early prenatal care declined in 17 CSAs, with the greatest decreases occurring in Chinquapin Park/Belvedere (-15.4), Morrell Park/Violetville (-10.9%), and Downtown/Seton Hill (-8.8%).

• In 2012, the CSAs with the highest percentage of births where the mother received early prenatal care were Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill (86.9%) and South Baltimore (80.9%). The CSAs with the lowest percentages of mothers received early prenatal care included Southern Park Heights (48.1%), Chinquapin Park/Belvedere (49.2%), and Brooklyn/Curtis Bay/Hawkins Point (49.6%).


Life Expectancy and Mortality7

Life expectancy (how long one might expect to live) and mortality rates (chances of dying) are fundamental health outcomes that are increasingly correlated with a person’s neighborhood. Vital Signs 12 reports life expectancy at birth and mortality rates for five age categories. These two indicators are inversely related; CSAs with low life expectancy have high rates of mortality in the younger age categories.

• In 2012, the life expectancy at birth in Baltimore City was 73.9 years. The CSAs with the highest life expectancy were Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill (84.4 years), Cross-Country/Cheswolde (84.2 years), North Baltimore/Guilford/Homeland (83.2 years), Mt. Washington/Coldspring (81.7 years), and Glen-Fallstaff (78.5 years). The CSAs with the lowest life expectancy were Downtown/Seton Hill (65.0 years), Clifton-Berea (66.4 years), Poppleton/The Terraces/Hollins Market (67.1 years), Upton/Druid Heights (67.3 years), and Greenmount East (67.4 years).

7 Data and methodology provided by the Baltimore City Department of Health

Data Story: Infant Mortality Rate

The Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is the number of infant (<1yr) deaths per 1000 live births. IMR is often used as a key indicator to determine the overall health and well-being of a community because the major factors driving the infant mortality rate are the same factors that affect the health of an entire population. Baltimore City’s infant mortality rate is calculated on an annual basis using the vital statistics that are reported on city resident birth and death certificates. This indicator helps researchers, program planners, and policy makers target areas in need of programs like community-based improvement projects and public health interventions.

Historically, Baltimore City has had one of the highest IMRs in the nation, sometimes being twice as high as that of the US. In 2009, the Baltimore City Health Department’s Bureau of Maternal and Child Health implemented a city-wide initiative known as B’more for Healthy Babies (BHB) to directly combat the City’s high infant mortality rate. BHB is an ongoing program that brings together key stakeholders, such as city agencies, health care providers, community groups, and community members, to help improve maternal and infant health in the Baltimore City. With this collaborative partnership, BHB is able to work at different levels, from policy to the community. Since the initiation of BHB in 2009, Baltimore City’s overall infant mortality rate has been reduced by 28%. Despite this significant reduction, many preventable infant deaths are still occurring each year and BHB remains an important effort in improving the lives of infants and their families in Baltimore City.

• The infant mortality rate measures the average number of deaths over a 5-year period in persons under the age of one per 1,000 live births (See Data Story) From 2008-2012, the infant mortality rate was 9.7 in Baltimore City. The CSA with the highest infant mortality rate was Pimlico/Arlington/Hilltop (21.0). Three CSAs experienced an infant mortality rate below 3.08: Claremont/Armistead, Fells Point, and Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill.

• From 2008-2012, Baltimore City’s age-specific mortality rate for persons aged 1-14 was 2.5 per 1,000 persons. There were 15 CSAs with zero deaths of persons in this age group. The CSAs with the highest rates were Downtown/Seton Hill (20.7) and Midway/Coldstream (8.4).

• From 2008-2012, Baltimore City’s age-specific mortality rate for persons aged 15-24 was 11.9 per 1,000 persons. The CSAs with the highest rates were Clifton-Berea (31.9) and Midway/Coldstream (29.9).

• From 2008-2012, Baltimore City’s age-specific mortality rate for persons aged 25-44 was 24.0 per 1,000 persons, with Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill (2.1) and Canton (3.3) reporting the lowest rates. The CSAs with the highest rates were Clifton-Berea (59.5) and Penn North/Reservoir Hill (50.0).

• From 2007-2011, Baltimore City’s age-specific mortality rate for persons aged 45-64 was 114.1 per 1,000 persons.

The CSAs with the lowest rates were Greater Roland Park/Poplar Hill (209.7) and North Baltimore/Guilford/Homeland (209.9).

• From 2008-2012, Baltimore City’s age-specific mortality rate for persons 85 and over was 1,231.5 per 1,000. The CSAs with the highest rates were Downtown/Seton Hill (2,000.0) andMidway/Coldstream (1,866.7). The CSAs with the lowest rates were Morrelle Par/Violetville (912.6), Cross-Country/Cheswolde (918.7), and Midtown (983.2).

8 Rate estimated due to small numbers of infant deaths


Lead Poisoning9 Although lead-based paint has been banned in the United States since 1978, many Baltimore homes were constructed prior to the ban and continue to contain paint and other sources of lead toxic to human health. When human blood lead levels are high, it can affect many organs and tissues including heart, kidneys, bones, and the nervous system. In children, elevated levels of lead in the blood can lead to permanent learning and behavior disorders.

• From 2011 to 2012, the total number of children between the ages of 0 and 6 tested for elevated levels of lead in their blood decreased by 1.6%, from 19,036 to 18,723. In 2012, the greatest number of children tested for elevated blood lead were in Cross-Country/Cheswolde (391 children), Cherry Hill (382 children), Brooklyn/Curtis Bay/Hawkins Point (374 children), Belair-Edison (356 children), and Harford/Echodale (348 children).

9 The number of children 0 to 6 years old that are tested for elevated levels of blood lead are reported by the Maryland Department of the Environment Lead Poisoning Prevention Program http://www.mde.state.md.us/programs/land/Pages/index.aspx

Range of Age-specific Mortality Rates among Community Statistical Areas

• In 2012, the percent of children age 0-6 with elevated blood lead levels decreased from 1.4% in 2011 to 1.2% in 2012. Of the 47 CSAs that had any children tested for elevated levels of blood lead in 2012, only 8 CSAs had children found to have elevated blood lead levels. The CSAs where the greatest percentage of children who were tested and were found to have elevated blood lead levels included Sandtown-Winchester/Harlem Park (7.4%), Midway/Coldstream (6.1%), and Edmondson Village (5.3%).

Built Environment and Food Security

A neighborhood’s built environment (buildings, streets, parks, etc) provide the context for human activity and can directly or indirectly impact the ability of residents to live healthy lives. Vital Signs 12 tracks two indicators of the density of off-premise liquor outlets10 and, in coordination with the Johns Hopkins Center for Livable Future, fast food/prepared-food and average healthy food availability index (see Indicator In-Depth).

• In 2012, the density of off-premise liquor outlets in Baltimore City was 1.2 per 1,000 residents. The density of these stores ranged from 8.5 per 1,000 persons in the Downtown/Seton Hill CSA to 0.0 in Cross-Country/Cheswolde.

• In 2012, the total number of off-premise liquor outlets in Baltimore was 766. The number of liquor outlets decreased by 1.9% from 78111 in 2011 to 766 in 2012. The largest numbers of establishments were located in Downtown/Seton Hill (55), Southwest Baltimore (47), Canton (40), and Highlandtown (38). The fewest numbers of establishments were located in Cross-Country/Cheswolde (0), Beechfield/Ten Hills/West Hills (1), Edmondson Village (1) and Cherry Hill (1).

• In 2011, the density of fast or prepared food12 in Baltimore was 1.4 stores per 1,000 residents. The CSAs with the highest density of fast food outlets per 1,000 residents were Downtown/Seton Hill (22.3), Madison/East End (4.6), and Inner Harbor/Federal Hill (4.2). Many CSAs (28) had less than 1.0 fast food outlets per 1,000 residents. The CSAs with the lowest density of fast food outlets per 1,000 residents included Cross-Country/Cheswolde (0.0), Edmonson Village (0.1), Mt. Washington/Coldspring (0.2), and Dickeyville/Franklintown (0.2).

• In 2012, the average healthy food availability index ranking of Baltimore City was 10.3. The CSAs with the highest average healthy food availability index ranking were Mt. Washington/Coldspring (24.8), South Baltimore (18.1), and Canton (16.9). The CSAs with the lowest average healthy food availability index ranking included Cross-Country/Cheswolde (0.0) Dickeyville/Franklintown (0.0), and Edmondson Village (6.4) (see Indicator In-Depth).

Indicator In-Depth: Healthy Food Availability Index

The Baltimore City Healthy Food Availability Index (HFAI) score is a quantitative depiction of the availability of healthy and whole food in supermarkets, small groceries & corner stores (known as superettes in the industry), convenience stores and other stores that sell food. This score can be used to evaluate individual stores as well as provide a means through which healthy food availability can be compared between stores. The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) calculated HFAI scores for all food stores in Baltimore, in summer 2012, using an adapted version of the NEMS-S (Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores) tool. The NEMS-S tool was developed by researchers at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University to measure the nutritional environment of food retail stores and was designed to assess healthy food availability in grocery and convenience stores. The survey looks for the presence of basic food groups and healthy options within those groups, such as milk, and low fat milk as the healthy option. CLF did an additional assessment of supermarkets in Baltimore in spring 2013 using another adapted version of the NEM-S tool, in order to account for the quality and variety of healthy food options, and the quality of the supermarket themselves. CLF took the total HFAI score from both surveys and calculated an average HFAI score for each Community Statistical Area (CSA) in Baltimore. This analysis showed that HFAI scores were generally higher in the city center as well as along the edges of the city, which tend to also be higher income areas. HFAI scores were generally lower in the lowest-income areas, especially southwest and northeast of the city center. (Cont’ on next page)


Social Assistance Programs13 Baltimore residents have access to several federal programs aimed at assisting people during times of financial distress. The uptake of these programs ebbs and flows with economic cycles but also varies by neighborhoods in the City. Vital Signs 12 tracks Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) a program administered through the Maryland Department of Human Resources.

13 Source of data is the Maryland Department of Human Resources through a data sharing agreement with the Jacob France Institute. Research has shown that administrative records yield significantly higher counts of participation in government safety-net programs compared with survey (Census) estimates. Lynch et al (2008) “Differences in Estimates of Public Assistance Recipiency Between Surveys and Administrative Records” www.ubalt.edu/jfi/jfi/reports/TANFJan2008.pdf

Indicator In-Depth: Healthy Food Availability Index (Con’t)

Data Collection Methods CLF obtained a food permit list from the Baltimore City Health Department in August 2011, which includes all sites that sell food, such as stores, restaurants and temporary locations such as farmers’ market stands and street carts. CLF processed the list, further dividing the records between food stores and restaurants, and used the internet to help verify store and restaurant type and operational status. Food stores were grouped into six categories, including supermarkets, superettes (“mom and pop” small grocery stores, including corner stores), convenience stores, discount stores, and pharmacies. The updated food store list was geocoded in ArcGIS and then plotted in a map book. The map book was used by two data collectors in summer 2012 as a planning tool for conducting HFAI assessments in food stores in Baltimore City. They also used the map book to keep track of stores that had been closed or renamed and add new stores that were not on the food permit list. The data collectors used their assessments to calculate HFAI scores for each food store. HFAI scores ranged from 0 to 28.5, with higher scores indicating more availability of healthy and whole food in a food store. A second HFAI assessment specifically for supermarkets was completed in spring 2013. The new supermarket scores were added to the original scores, increasing the scoring range to 0 to 50. These final HFAI scores were added to the food store data layer in ArcGIS. The food store data layer was then spatially joined with the 2010 CSA data layer in ArcGIS and the HFAI scores were averaged across each CSA.

Sources The food store data layer was originally derived from the August 2011 Baltimore City food permit list. It was later field verified and updated by CLF. The HFAI scores were generated by CLF. The CSA data layer was obtained from the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicators Alliance.

Updates This is the first time CLF has calculated the average HFAI score for each CSA in Baltimore. Updates to the data will be made every other year, in conjunction with updates to the CLF Food Desert Map.

Average Healthy Food Availability Index The Baltimore City Healthy Food Availability Index (HFAI) is a quantitative depiction of the availability of healthy and whole food in supermarkets, small groceries & corner stores, convenience stores, and other stores that sell food. Definition: The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) calculated HFAI scores for all food stores in Baltimore, in summer 2012, using an adapted version of the NEMS-S (Nutrition Environment Measures Survey in Stores) tool. The NEMS-S tool was developed by researchers at the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University to measure the nutritional environment of food retail stores and was designed to assess healthy food availability in grocery and convenience stores. CLF obtained a food permit list from the Baltimore City Health Department in August 2011, which includes all sites that sell food, such as stores, restaurants, and temporary locations such as farmers’ market stands and street carts. HFAI scores range from zero to 28.5, with higher scores indicating more availability of healthy and whole food in a food store.

Fast Food Outlet Density (from Vital Signs 11) Measures the concentration of prepared foods (ready-made, to-go meals and snacks) locations. Definition: The Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) obtained the food permit list from the Baltimore City Health Department in August 2011, which includes all sites that sell food, such as stores, restaurants and temporary locations such as farmers’ market stands and street carts. The restaurants were grouped into three categories, including full service restaurants, fast food chains and carryouts. Carryout and fast food chain restaurants were extracted from the restaurant layer and spatially joined with the 2010 Community Statistical Area (CSA) data layer, provided by BNIA-JFI. The prepared foods density, per 1,000 people, was calculated for each CSA using the CSA’s population and the total number of carryout and fast food restaurants, including vendors selling prepared foods in public markets, in each CSA.
